Self-struggle starting from Douluo

Chapter 194 Reward
Hai Bodong also knew that although he had clues about the strange fire, he did not have enough strength now.

If he was still at the level of Dou Huang, he could easily win this investment on his own and help a kind-hearted, talented, and incredibly powerful young alchemist obtain the Strange Fire. Such a favor would be enough for him to enjoy for the rest of his life.

But he only has the strength of a Dou Ling now... He won't be able to handle a casual Dou Wang.

If there is really help from the Dou Huang, then the chances of obtaining the strange fire will be much greater.

After hesitating for a moment, Hai Bodong said, "Then how do you plan to ask Master Yun to come? You know, the strange fire is equally important to Gu He, and Gu He has joined the Yunlan Sect!"

"This is a problem..."

Qing Huan thought about it and said, "Maybe I have a way to solve it."

At worst, Gu He could get the strange fire, which would be a way of repaying Gu He's kindness in giving him the elixir formula.

Hai Bodong did not ask any further questions and said, "Then I will go back and make some preparations. After everything is ready, we will set out to look for the Strange Fire."

"Wait!" Qing Huan said, "You have the recipe, so you should have collected the herbs, right? If you trust me, give me the ingredients first."

Without saying anything, Hai Bodong handed over a storage ring and said, "I have collected almost all the medicinal herbs. Now I only need one kind, which is the "Sand Mandragora". It can only be found in the Tagor Desert. The higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it...

But you know, I practice ice-attributed skills, and there is a seal placed by Queen Medusa in my body. As long as I step into the depths of the Tagor Desert, she will notice me... So..."

Qing Huan's spiritual power seeped into the storage ring, and he thought: "Perhaps, I can use other herbs as a substitute... Leave it to me!"

……

After Hai Bodong left, Qing Huan called Qing Lin and asked, "How is your control of the power of your bloodline?"

Qinglin smiled triumphantly and widened his eyes.

Three green dots appeared in her eyes, and suddenly a faint light shone brightly. In an instant, the three dots turned into three extremely tiny green flowers...

Qing Huan nodded in satisfaction and said, "This is the power of your bloodline. You must learn to master it. This is also the power that controls your own destiny... But you still have to hide it carefully, lest someone digs your eyes out."

Qinglin smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother. I didn't even tell Chilin and the others."

Qing Huan sighed and said, "In order to resolve their bloodline conflict, I used your blood as a guide, which has led to them subconsciously obeying your orders now. But they are our family, you must not use this power to order them around!"

Qing Lin said seriously: "Don't worry, brother, I won't!"

"Qinglin, be good!" Qinghuan smiled and touched her head, saying, "I'm going to go out of town in a few days, and I may need your help then."

Qing Lin was immediately delighted: "Really? Then brother, I'll go get ready."

"Go."

……

Three days later, Yun Yun, wearing a veil, arrived as promised.

At this time, Hai Bodong was already ready. He was spreading out a map and discussing with Qing Huan. Seeing Yun Yun coming over, Hai Bodong did not say anything, but just stepped aside.

Yun Yun glanced at Hai Bodong, but didn't recognize him, or didn't connect the old man in front of him with the Ice Emperor, one of the ten strongest men. She just smiled and said, "Brother, you asked me to come here. Are you in trouble?"

"Sister Yun." Qing Huan bowed and said, "This time I have something to ask of you."

As he spoke, he handed over a jade-colored pill and said, "This is the reward. If this trip is successful, there will be another reward afterwards."

Yun Yun took the jade-colored pill and just smelled it. She was immediately surprised and asked, "What kind of pill is this? Even a Dou Huang like me can feel that my Dou Qi has increased a little bit?"

Qing Huan explained: "This is an alternative Qi-recovering pill that I came up with. Ordinary Qi-recovering pills can speed up the refining of Dou Qi and are generally used to quickly recover consumed Dou Qi.

But I prolonged the efficacy of this Qi-restoring pill and made it milder, so it can not only restore fighting spirit, but also help speed up cultivation, and it is especially effective for those at the Fighter level!"

Yun Yun's expression under her veil slightly changed, and she smiled sweetly, "Sister was planning to go to the Magic Beast Mountain Range to look for the Purple Spirit Crystal, and rushed here after receiving your message. Now it seems that there is no need...Sister will accept it without hesitation. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Qing Huan pointed at Hai Bodong and said, "This old gentleman has news about the Strange Fire." "Strange Fire?!" Yun Yun exclaimed, looking at Hai Bodong and said, "Is that true? Qing Huan is my brother, old gentleman, please don't speak nonsense!"

Hai Bodong snorted coldly and said, "I'm asking for help from someone, so I won't talk nonsense."

Yun Yun's tone straightened, and she said, "In that case, I will do my best to get the strange fire for you!"

As for Gu He…who is that?

Qing Huan also tacitly did not mention it, pointing to the map and said: "Sister, please look, the old man has marked three places on the map where the strange fire is most likely to exist... The nearest one is in the southeast outside Shimo City.

Let’s go here first.”

Yun Yun stared at the map for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get ready and be ready to go."

Qing Huan said, "Sister, if you need anything to prepare, just tell Qing Lin... She will go with us."

Yun Yun didn't ask why she had to take care of a child, and she was confident that she could protect both of them. She nodded and turned to go out.

After she left, Qing Huan placed a jade bottle in front of Hai Bodong and said, "This is the pill I made according to your recipe. Take one and try it."

Hai Bodong opened the bottle and smelled it. His expression changed and he poured out a pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The next moment, a cold air filled the entire room, and even ice flowers formed in the corners of the walls.

Hai Bodong looked at his hands in disbelief and said tremblingly: "The seal... the seal is lifted?"

"It only temporarily broke the shackles of Dou Qi, but it didn't completely remove them."

Qing Huan shivered and said, "I used several lower-level medicinal herbs to replace the high-level medicinal herbs in the recipe, and refined this kind of elixir that can temporarily break the shackles of alien fighting spirit...

But each one only lasts for a quarter of an hour, there are nine in total, use them as you see fit!"

Hai Bodong quickly withdrew his breath and said excitedly: "Amazing! It's really amazing! I really didn't make a mistake in choosing you... Little brother, thank you very much!"

Qing Huan exhaled a breath of cold air and said, "This is also to increase the success rate of obtaining the strange fire. You are too polite, Hai Lao."

As he was talking, Yun Yun rushed in, looked at Hai Bodong suspiciously, and said, "You are actually a Dou Huang?"

Hai Bodong seemed to have gained confidence. He straightened his chest and put his hands behind his back, saying, "I am the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!"

Yun Yun was shocked: "You are the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong? Hai Bodong, who was once one of the top ten masters of the Jia Ma Empire, and is from the Miter family?"

"It's me!"

Yun Yun was about to say more, but Qing Huan interrupted them and said, "Sister Yun, Mr. Hai, let's talk about the past later. Right now, the Strange Fire is more important... If you are ready, let's set off now without further delay."

Yun Yun suppressed the doubts in her heart and said, "Okay, let's go."

Hai Bodong said: "I can do it anytime."

Qing Huan took a deep breath, put away the map, and said, "Let's go!"

……

Just when Qinghuan left Shimo City for the first time after being born, Xiao Li, the second commander of the Motie Mercenary Group, hurried all the way and finally returned to the Xiao family in Wutan City.

Before he could catch his breath, he heard the news that Nalan Yanran from the Nalan family had broken off the engagement, and he also learned that his brother had made a three-year agreement with someone else.

Suppressing the anger and frustration in his heart, Xiao Li asked, "Father, where is my younger brother? My elder brother and I got a pill from an alchemist in Shimo City this time. Maybe it can solve my younger brother's problem of cultivation."

"Really?" Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, was delighted and said, "He is in the back mountain... I'll take you there!"
